Sitemails have been sent and the master list is updated. The fact that there is a league number means...the commish has completed his roster. This is first time this has happened in just two attempts since....I don't know when. It's been a while, though.

I've definitely never come close to finishing in two rounds before, but there you go. turns out drafting all Phillies (inspired by the commish's all-Pirates team a few seasons ago) gets you finished right quick.

It's nice to be remembered for something.

The thought of an all-Pirates team made me cringe. Not because I hate them or anything, but because I have the Bucs in a theme league that newark and I are in together. That team was a challenge to assemble, as it's only 1969-present. Not much pitching in Pittsburgh in those years!

Can't argue with you about Pirate pitching. (There's a reason why there are no pitchers in the Hall as Pirates.) However, I believe the Bucs hold their own in WIS. I won a league where everyone used three consecutive seasons of a franchise where the cumulative record had to be under .500. My team was 1987-89 Pirates.

Sounds interesting. What was the cap? The league I run is a $120 million cap, and the Pirates aren't chosen all that often. When they are, they're usually decent, but have only made the playoffs a couple of times. This season, we're 30-28 and in 2nd place in our division. Both the hitting and pitching have been mediocre but not terrible. If you want to check out the theme, it's just a few threads below this one...Rule V. You can see the draft results, theme rules, etc.
